Super-Sized Needle Arts Made Manly (UPDATE)

Boston artist Dave Cole describes his super-sized work as "combining the feminized domestic American tradition of knitting with the grandiose gesture of construction." We've written about Cole's work before, but these pieces deserve a second look with some more pictures.

The Knitting Machine is comprised of two excavation tractors equipped with 20’ knitting needles. They are used to assemble a giant American flag in ‘big knit’ exhibitions. The concept was first thought out in miniature before it was undertaken in the bigger world.
